Peuterey Integral

also: Cresta di Peutérey

One of the longest and most committing ridges in the Alps — the entire Peuterey skyline from Val Veny to the summit of Mont Blanc. The full integral starts on the Aiguille Noire de Peuterey (not a 4000er, so not in the UIAA 82) before crossing the Aiguille Blanche, the Col de Peuterey, and the upper Brouillard / Frêney face to finish on Mont Blanc. Done a handful of times each summer by very strong parties.
